Advice

If you think something needs to be changed, don't hesitate! Wikibooks is a wiki which means that everybody (including you) can edit any page by clicking edit this page. You don't even have to log in! Newcomers are always welcome to Wikibooks, so don't be afraid of making mistakes. If you don't know how to edit pages, check out Help:Editing or experiment in the Sandbox.

Please use books' discussion pages to share your thoughts.
Thank you for your interest in Wikibooks. You can ask questions or leave comments by first clicking on the "discussion" link found at the top of pages.

We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but some of your recent actions differ from the way things are normally done at Wikibooks. Using Wikibooks can be helpful in learning more about conventions.

Software testing

Please help improve Wikibooks. Yes, you can indeed edit most pages here, as you've recently noticed. If you want to test out different features of wiki syntax, please use the sandbox in the future. If you would like to help improve Wikibooks, see What is Wikibooks. You should also create an account so your contributions can be attributed to you, amongst other benefits. If you have questions, or need help, ask at the Reading Room Assistance page. Thanks.

Please explain any major revisions in the edit summary field when you edit pages. Edit summaries can help you and your fellow contributors track changes to a page. Your contributions may be undone when you do not use an edit summary, because unexplained changes can be mistaken for vandalism. Read Using Wikibooks to learn more about contributing to and editing Wikibooks. You can also ask questions in the Assistance Reading Room. Thank you.

Please do not delete all the content from pages.
Page blanking may be mistaken for vandalism and does not delete the page. If you wish to have this page deleted please instead add {{delete|your reason}} to the top of the page and preserve the previous contents, or if it is a duplicate page, add {{previous edit history|other page name}} to the page instead, so that an administrator can fix it. Please read the deletion policy to learn more about when pages should be deleted and alternatives to deletion. Thank you.

Please stop uploading files with incomplete or incorrect copyright information.
Most works are copyrighted and cannot be used at Wikibooks. If you continue uploading files without including copyright information, you will be blocked from editing Wikibooks.

Mission and Scope

Please remember to maintain a neutral point of view in your writing.Welcome to Wikibooks, and thanks for the contributions! We're always happy to have new Wikibookians with a serious interest in improving books! Unfortunately, some of your edits have been reverted because they do not maintain a neutral point of view (NPOV) as required by policy. Please read our NPOV policy which has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the book as a whole.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to books.
External links that you have added have been considered inappropriate by your fellow contributors. Books are intended to be read without the need for external references. Rather than adding external links, particularly those which are for advertising or promotion, please instead expand books to include any missing information. If you feel the external link should be added to a book, please discuss it on the module's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikibooks. Thank you.

Please introduce new material based on factual and accurate information. Your fellow contributors may challenge or remove material that does not cite a reliable source in the bibliography section of a book. Read Using Wikibooks to learn how to contribute to and edit books. You can ask questions or for help in the projects reading room. Thank you.

Wikibooks invites everyone to contribute constructively to our collection. However, your recent edits may be considered vandalism by your fellow contributors. Please improve our collection and stop damaging the hard work of others. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Thanks,

You will be blocked without warning if you continue to make unconstructive edits. You have been warned previously that your edits are disruptive; this is your last warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others.
Thanks.

CheckUser evidence has determined that this IP address, IP range, or account has been used abusively.
This address (or network) has been blocked to prevent further abuse.

In extreme cases, an entire network may be blocked to prevent an abusive user from continually changing their IP address in order to evade blocks or abusing multiple accounts.

Administrators:CheckUsers are privy to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy, and therefore must be consulted before this block can be removed.

Users: You may request {{unblock}} through the normal channels, however a CheckUser will review the block.

Note: In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check your block log. If no blocks are listed, or the latest one has already expired, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems.

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, please place {{subst:Unblock on hold-notification|1=Templates}} on the administrator's talk page. Then replace this template with the following:

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with any specific rationale. If you do not edit the text after "decline=", a default reason why the request was declined will be inserted.

After the blocking administrator has left a comment, do one of the following:

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with any specific rationale. If you do not edit the text after "decline=", a default reason why the request was declined will be inserted.

This blocked user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please address the stated concerns and then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you abuse this procedure by making too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page as long as you are blocked.
